The large towel was wrapped around his shirt; she placed it on the sink and pressed firmly. He could see the bones at the back of her delicate hand were pale because she had exerted too much strength.
He never knew that having someone helping him clean his military uniform gave off such a warm feeling.
Xia Jinyuan2, whose gaze was gentle as water, quietly watched as she cleaned his military uniform. After the shirt was taken out from the towel, she placed it on another large bath towel, she crouched and used both hands to smooth the wrinkles little by little.
âAlthough itâs very wet, at least no water will drip out, thereâs no need to worry about having your clothes being too wet that it will wet the taxi seat,â She spoke with much difficulty, but it was a fact. Ye Jian1, seeing him not moving, passed his pants to him, âYou change your pants in here, Iâll use the hair dryer to blow your shirt.â
âWhen are you booking the flight ticket? Can the plane take flight with the thunderstorm right now? Why donât you ask the hotel which is the earliest flight to the capital?â
At that moment, Ye Jian displayed meticulousness, which did not belong to her age, but it seemed absolutely reasonable for Xia Jinyuan.
A child without their parentâs care needed to be more sensible; they could only care for themselves to survive. Ye Jian was considered to have matured early, and she was a girl who could take good care of him.
He received the wet uniform which had no water dripping down; there was a smile on his handsome face as he said softly: âI have to pack my own luggage every time I travel, there might not be any luggage at times, leaving to pursue justice with no second thoughts for my beliefs while wearing battle clothes, a gun, a communicator.â
âThe first thing I would do when I return is to wash away the smoke and blood on my body, only thinking of having a good sleep. Little fox, I feel happy seeing you helping me pack my uniform.â
He talked softly, although his soft voice still had the sharpness from when he spoke on the phone, it was much gentler, âNo need to trouble yourself, itâs good like this.â
Ye Jian had already lowered her gaze; she turned on the hairdryer in the bathroom, Ye Jianâs faint voice could be heard amid the buzzing sounds with low frequency, âThere will be an opportunity, change your pants first, Iâm heading out.â
She took down the leather belt placed on the towel rack after she wiped it with the same towel, she passed it to him together with his pants, she then left with his uniform and shirt.
Not much time was needed to change into a pair of pants. Ye Jian, who was sitting on the bed, had not even finished blowing a single sleeve when he walked out topless, revealing his sexy and slender upper body. He directly walked to the bedside table, and he picked up his phone and side on the bed as he browsed through his phone.
âThere will be a car picking me up afterward, and you can sleep in the hotel tonight. You can head to the school for morning revision tomorrow morning. You can handle your dinner in the hotel, and itâs raining heavily, better stay inside.â
The howl of the hairdryer was loud, he spoke next to Ye Jianâs ear, his male breath directly wrapped around Ye Jian, she was breathing in his breath.
Such a scene should be charming and gentle, but both of them had thoughts of exercising restraint, there were no ambiguous feelings even if they were closer.
Ye Jian placed the hairdryer into another sleeve, she turned her head and looked at him with a cold glint, even the corner of her lips were slightly pursed up, âWhen are you leaving?â
âThere should be ten minutes left, it should be enough to blow dry your shirt,â Xia Jinyuan finished reading the text message and directly deleted it. The unit had already booked his flight ticket, and it was not the flight to the capital, it was the flight towards a city closest to the countryâs border.
